New report from Pew on the digital future: hopeful and worrying expert predictions

摘要

Asked to predict how technology will change over the next decade, hundreds of experts agree that trends now underway will make the Internet more important even as it becomes less visible in daily life. They believe it will become more "like electricity" and produce vastly greater human and machine connectivity that will change everything from personal interactions to the decisions made by governments around the world. This report, part of a series titled "Digital Life in 2025", is a compilation of imaginings by nearly 1,500 experts who responded to an online canvassing by the Pew Research Center in association with Elon University's Imagining the Internet Center.
